Iceland Noir 2023
Saturday–Jeff
Ahh,
finally I’m back in a familiar time zone.
Uhh, or am I? Oh, well at least we’re back on the farm in time to tuck in
the bears for a long winter’s nap.
As
I wrote last week, we were in Reykjavik, Iceland for Iceland Noir which
concluded on Sunday with a reception at Iceland’s Ministry of Culture (what a
great place and wonderful Minister), and a late afternoon panel featuring
co-authors Louise Penny and Hillary Rodham Clinton interviewed by Iceland’s
first lady, Eliza Reid, in Reykjavik’s exquisite Harpa Concert Hall. The official conclusion of the festival was
followed by what’s become a traditional two-day road trip joined in by forty of
us journeying out into Iceland’s fairy tale wilds.
Rather
than bore you with explanations, I thought I’d pass along photos of our sixth Iceland
Noir adventure as captured by Barbara. There
is no particular order to the photos, and I leave it to your discerning minds
to pick out the authors captured by my lens master—and propose such captions as
you consider appropriate (or inappropriate).
I think it more important to capture the vibe of the events and locales.
And
now on to the photos:
